That’s the official stance of everybody really.

Unofficially : US doesn’t really want that because that would significantly reduce their diplomatic influence and weapons sales. European nations don’t want it, because of responsibility, it would be expensive and we would end up with a lot of armed nations that don’t really like each other that much.

So, it’s really beneficial for everyone that it stays like it is.

I only saw the one text saying march

March 2024… Useless data.

Sounds like excuses to me.

He is a drunk that does this a lot. It doesn’t deserve an article.

Half the world doesn’t think that.

Lukashenko sold his country and nation to the horror and suffering that is Russia.

I doubt everyone will be on board with this.

Of course. The other side is doing it, why shouldn’t they? It was a big mistake to not let them in the first place. Many many people are dead because of it.

Which one is that. I guess I’ve been left out of the loop.

Lol. I can’t believe that even in this case all the shits in the world decided to go into this together.

I’m so excited! Will it not suck completely? Maybe!

We have had many predictions like that before. I believed in some and I take myself to be quite conservative in these estimations. What I saw is that none of them actually happen as an event, but very gradually. The best example is artillery shells. Media has predicted that Russia will run out of shells many times, but it doesn’t happen of course, because thats not how the world works. They just reduce consumption. This reduction was not big enough for any media to even report.

What im trying to say is that there is very likely not going to be an event when Russia cracks. As sanctions are applied, workarounds are found. They have enough people by sheer numbers to at least defend the front for many years to come.

Not significantly. For now Russia made sufficient changes to endure and project an appearance of stability.

That’s not the point. The point is when will this effect the war? Significantly. Enough to matter to Ukraine.

Russian economy is going towards ruin…

… but it’s not nearly fast enough to have a substantial impact on the war in Ukraine. Russia is good to fight for another 2 or 3 years, maybe an additional year if they really push it. Can Ukraine do that? Not unless NATO seriously ramps up high tech weapon deliveries.

Well, that’s not entirely true is it. This territory is not known to have been a place missiles. Plus, Ukraine will not be able to take enough land to even make it a buffer zone for artillery, let alone missiles.

This land is a liability. You need many troops to defend it that could be somewhere else. That’s a fact. The is only a question Wether the pros outweigh the cons.

Of course we don’t know more than Ukrainian commands. We are speculating and talking. But they make mistakes as well. In war there is a game of probabilities and risks.

In this case it’s just words. Russians know they are invading foreign lands.

Even without US. UK has nukes, France has nukes. You don’t need a lot to destroy Russia. Basically just two.

Nato would completely overwhelm Russia, but not before nukes would fly from various places and hit major cities in the western world. In the retaliation, all of Russia would be destroyed, world in turmoil…

It was a joke…

Geez. Linux community is extremely uptight and extremely triggered by any challenge, even whimsical. Relax guys. But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.
